Pilgrimage to Abydo and offering scene

Scenes from the walls of the Funeral Chamber. Left: Sennefer sits in front of a table of offerings, Meryt is standing behind him. Sennefer is seated on a stool with legs in the shape of lion paws under which are a mirror and a vase. He wears a wig, a broad gold collar, a long semi-transparent garment and a skirt. He may be holding a Sekhem sceptre. In front of him is a table filled with offerings (loaves of bread, grapes, figs, lettuce, eggs, meat, gourds and lotus flowers). On the right: the decoration is divided into three registers and describes the couple's pilgrimage to Abydos. At the top, the outward journey, with the ritual boat pulled by rowers; at the bottom, the return journey, with the boat pulling a boat with sails unfurled.
